Serial Burglar Sentenced

TULSA, Okla. - A Tulsa man was sentenced today for three counts of second-degree burglary and four counts of third-degree burglary in Indian Country, announced U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson.

U.S. District Judge Sara E. Hill sentenced Mark Alfred Foreman, 38, to 70 months imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release. Judge Hill further ordered Foreman to pay more than $3,200 in restitution.

Between 5 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on November 16, 2023, Foreman admitted to committing seven burglaries around Tulsa. Foreman broke into two homes and four vehicles using various destructive methods. His final stop that morning alerted Tulsa Police officers. When officers saw Foreman, they pursued him until he crashed into a fence. From there, he took off on foot and was ultimately found by a K-9 officer and detained.

During Foreman's string of burglaries, his girlfriend was assisting him. She was detained later that day. The Tulsa County District Attorney's office prosecuted and convicted her for her role in the burglaries.

Foreman is a citizen of Sac and Fox Nation. He will remain in custody pending transfer to the U.S. Bureau of Prisons.

The Tulsa Police Department investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Flynn prosecuted the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.
